Default Teraflex leveling kit problems?

I just bought the 2 inch in the front and the 1 inch in the back Teraflex leveling kit (spacers), and I'm about to have it installed on my 2011 JKU by a local shop who does lifts and leveling kits all the time on Jeeps.

I was just wondering if anyone has had any bad experiences or problems with the kit. Or if anyone has had any pushback from the dealership or any warranty problems after the kit was installed.I've done some searches on the forum but haven't found much. I might just be being paranoid.

Leveling Kit Pics on a JKU would be awesome also.

Thanks!

You should have no problem with the leveling kit, dealers can always be a problem any time you modify your jeep. browse through the thread Chrysler will void your warranty.

I installed mine in no time. Only thing is watch the position of the sway bar links. There's a right and wrong way.

I love mine. Just adding rancho 9000xl to round out my suspension package.

Mine was a surprising challenge to install. I had to disconnect everything connected to the axel to get it to drop. That being said, after the struggle it was still better then the cost the off road shop wanted to charge me.

I run an unlimited with 33in Duratracs and properly offset rims and it looks perfect. I highly recommend. Pics in my gallery.

Very easy install. While not necessary for the install, I would suggest getting a spring compressor on loan from the local auto parts store. It will make the job so much easier and faster, especially the rears. You shouldn't need it at all on the front, but it wouldn't hurt.

I installed Mine in under an hour. But then again I'm spoiled I have a lift and all power tools And with 100 miles on the jeep no rusted bolts. Love the kit Jeep sits perfectly level.

I did have an issue where my springs were bowing, so I went to 1" front and rear. Still slightly bows, but not as bad. Obviously this was something with the Jeep (maybe the longer shocks....stiffer springs....I don't know). I am getting ready to do a lift so we'll see if the issues persist.

The pictures of mine are further down the thread...
